We are all a bit of warriors, some on the battlefield, some fighting corruption, some restoring justice in the courts, our people fighting incurable diseases, and our scientists fighting gravity. We are such a warlike nation. And very passionate about freedom. I was lucky enough to be born in the best country in the world - Ukraine, and it is a country for which it is an honor to die. And it is even better to live for it," Mulkiewicz wrote .
